The postcard is a genuine gem, and fits in so nicely with today's Valentine related post. And look at the incredibly wonderful transparencies Linda sent, too.

I'd love to make backgrounds as beautiful as Linda did this one.

And look at that fantastic stitching, too.

Linda was so very, very generous with the gifts she sent.

I was truly impressed and felt honored. Thank you Linda and Patty for making this a red letter day.But we can't forget this is T day, and my red letter day is extended to my drink of Sparkling Ice (raspberry) that I'll be drinking in a red glass.

Now it's your turn to share a drink related post. The rules are extremely simple. Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a
glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink, or even a sketch or a digital,
hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered
book. Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or photography. You might choose a postcard or decorated card, like the ones I received. Or perhaps
you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie or book. It makes no
difference as long as it's drink related. Please tie it back here, and
please link only to your post, not your entire blog. When you link,
Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit. Bleubeard
would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time,
even months ago, if you choose.

What a wonderful red letter day! Who'd have thought you'd have so many lovely red candles :-). That is really kind of Linda and Patty to send you such beautiful cards and goodies filled with love - perfect :-). Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's T Day! J :-)

What a lovely surprise you had in the mail from friends with love.Your red candles look super the way you have them displayed in a group.The ruby coloured glass looks beautiful, enjoy your raspberry drink.Happy Valentines T day.Yvonne xx

Oh! I wish I had thought to send a Valentines card - I think the English custom is more restricted to a one and only!!! Your certainly do look as though you celebrate in style and you have some lovely cards and gifts! Happy Valentines Day! Hugs. Chrisx

Oh just look at all the delicious red here! Even though I posted that postcard for a recent T Day I just knew it had to go to you. I so appreciate your talents and dedication to your special post links like this one:) Patty's card is oh so pretty and I am thrilled to have my piece beside hers for so many reasons. Happy T Day and happy Valentine's Day too!

NICE mail. How fun to get cards in the mail. :) They are gorgeous. And you've certainly set your place at the table with lots of RED. You do have a huge number of red candles. It was really a red letter day, and Valentine's Day (a red day) at that. Hope yours is really happy and you have a wonderful T Day Elizabeth. Hugs-Erika

I love how you arranged this all so lovely - so many red candles in one house - stunning!The girls sent wonderful post to you-so lovely and nice from them!Happy T-Day dear Elirabeth and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

What a special day, red letter day, this is for you. It is amazing the connection you built from the virtual world here into the real world and are connecting IRL with fellow artists. Just love it.Unfortunately I cannot link up as I don't have drink related post up (just some macro icy shots) and David wasn't quite ready to publish another Robot Apocalypse part - next week. Enjoy your goodies! :)

Happy Valentine's Day to you also! Love your gorgeous red post, candles and cards! Some beautiful art that you've been gifted with...it will be fun to see how you use those cool transparencies! hope your day is terrific ♥ ♥ ♥

In comments to Let's Art Journal, you said you couldn't find Jasmine tea with flowers. You might want to try Tealuxe a tea purveyor located in Harvard Sq. I've bought teas online from them. Wonderful service. Did a search and found they have 3 Jasmine tea varieties. http://www.tealuxe.com/component/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,1/keyword,jasmine+flower/Search,Search/page,shop.browse/vmcchk,1/

How sweet! I was toatlly MIA all week. Mr. G was on vacation...well was actually on jury duty so he took vacation. Never had to actually report though. Anyway...weird week for me.Jessa loves those ICE drinks...I just have to be careful not to buy the ones with red#40...she's allergic. That darn red#40 is in so much stuff...even medicine!!

Bleubeard and I welcome you
